Macaroni KID's Summer Camp and Activities Guide features organizations that provide camp, vacation bible school, workshops, and/or other educational/entertaining activities for kids during their summer break and is one of our most popular guides. It offers a unique opportunity for camp providers to reach their specific audience of local parents. Our digital newsletters are delivered straight to the in-boxes of self-subscribed parents and caregivers in the Gig Harbor - Mason County, Tacoma - South Sound, and Snoqualmie Valley areas, maximizing the reach of your business to your target audience.
Listing your camp in this guide is targeted, no-waste marketing for you. While you may enter the guide at any time up until June 30th, the prices will remain the same so it's best to get your camp inserted as soon as you can to receive the most marketing for your money.
Even if you are not a Platinum, Gold, or Silver level Camp Sponsor, you'll still have an excellent opportunity for your camp to be seen by our readers because from the first publishing date through the end of summer break, the Guide will appear:
- in 4 Dedicated emails: First Issue: February 15th / 2nd Edition: March 15th/ 3rd Edition: April 15th/ 4th Edition: May 15th
